GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen says the decline of physical video-game sales is not central to the company’s business. In an interview on Bloomberg TV, Cohen dismisses concerns about the end of physical discs, responding to Sony’s announcement that it will stop producing new PlayStation game discs in 2028. Cohen describes physical disc sales as “totally, totally irrelevant,” and argues they represent a small portion of GameStop’s overall operations.
In the same interview, Cohen reiterates GameStop’s long-term strategic focus on gaming-related collectables and the company’s relationship with eBay. The remarks frame GameStop’s approach as shifting away from physical media sales and toward categories where the company expects to maintain demand through collecting and online marketplace activity.
Both outlets report Cohen’s emphasis that the company is not materially dependent on physical disc sales and that GameStop instead prioritizes collectables and purchasing within its eBay-linked model.
